Royal Kindergarten

Chapter 314

Every year on the seventh day of the seventh month of the lunar calendar, it is commonly known as the Qixi Festival, and some people call it "Qiqiao Festival", "Seven Bridge Festival", "Daughter's Day" or "Qixi Love Festival".This is the most romantic festival among traditional Chinese festivals, and it is also the day that girls valued most in the past.

It is a folk custom to sit and watch the Altair Vega on the night of Qixi Festival.Because according to legend, on this night every year, it is the time when the Weaver Girl and the Cowherd meet on the Magpie Bridge.

On this romantic night, the girls place seasonal melons and fruits in front of the bright moon in the sky, and pray to the sky, begging the fairies in the sky to give them a good match for love and marriage.

In the Zhou Dynasty where Xiao Ziyi lived, Qixi Qiqiao was obviously a very grand festival, and there were even large-scale night banquets held in the palace.This Xiao Ziyi knew, because when she accepted the invitation a few days ago, she couldn't excuse her illness, and the queen didn't force it.

But Xiao Ziyi, who was supposed to be resting in the palace, was wearing men's clothes at this time, watching the bustling scene in the market intently.

The place Xia Houling brought her to was Qiqiao City, a market in the capital that exclusively sells Qiqiao items, and the world called it Qiqiao City.People began to buy begging items from the first day of July until tonight on the night of Qixi Festival. The wide street full of shops was full of people, and the sound of laughing and playing mixed with the sound of firecrackers floated in the air.There are lights and festoons everywhere, full of festive atmosphere.

Xiao Ziyi was pushed slowly by the crowd involuntarily. Since she came to ancient times, she had never been in a market.Suddenly came to such a lively place, looking at the busy traffic and dim lights, a sense of unreality came to my heart.

Suddenly her hand was tightly grasped, Xiao Ziyi looked in surprise, and found that Xia Houling was grinning at her with a mouthful of white teeth and said: "Don't get lost, there are too many people here."

"Yeah." Xiao Ziyi's mood became very comfortable, and she thought that maybe Xia Houling secretly took her out for shopping because she knew she was in a troubled mood recently.Moreover, Xia Houling's martial arts were higher than she imagined, and the most important thing was that she could lead her out of the palace easily.

Tonight is Qixi Festival, and almost all the maids and eunuchs in the palace have gone to Weiyang Palace to attend the banquet, and they will play until midnight.Shen Yuhan heard that she was also called back for a blind date by the elders of the Shen family, so she had no time to care whether she stayed in the palace peacefully or not.So before midnight, she should still have a lot of time to kill.

In fact, she was surprised that there was still a little bit of humanity in this age, and Shen Yuhan didn't come to marry him directly.Cut, cheap him!
Xiao Ziyi had never been so comfortable when she was out of the palace before.Without a large number of people around her, she suddenly felt as if she had returned to the days of ordinary people.

She turned her head and looked in the direction of the imperial palace, and saw that large areas of the palace were decorated with exquisite palace lanterns, and it really looked like a fairyland on earth from a distance.But why doesn't she want to go back at all?

"Hee hee, I haven't been back for many years, and Qiqiao City in the capital is still so prosperous. I really miss it!" Xia Houling also got a folding fan from nowhere, and she shook it in the same posture as Tan Yueli. Suave and suave, with the appearance of a handsome young man.It attracted the sideways glances of the women around, and even the bold ones showed off their glances unabashedly.

Seeing this, Xiao Ziyi pursed her lips and smiled.Compared to Xia Houling, who was used to dressing up as a man, her appearance in men's clothing couldn't be put on the stage at all.Just like the last time Xiao Ce gave a lecture when he was out of the pavilion, as long as people look closely for a while, they can tell that she is a daughter.However, Xiao Ziyi glanced around and found that she and Xia Houling were not the only people disguised as men on this street.There are a lot of like-minded people out there, presumably the eldest ladies from wealthy families sneak out to go shopping.

The atmosphere here is not very conservative. In such a festival, I am afraid that some parents who have girls to marry will turn a blind eye and let their daughters go.

"Where are we going?" Xiao Ziyi naturally took Xia Houling's hand and looked around the night market, buying some fun things.

"Hey, there is the famous Pan Tower in front of you, and Lanweifang after you pass by." Xia Houling folded her fan and pointed to the brightly lit storey Fuge not far ahead, which was obviously more lively.

When Xiao Ziyi heard the name of Lanweifang, she stopped reflexively. "Uh, Lanweifang must be overcrowded at this time. There won't be a place for us to go." She had already decided that she would not see one of the two of them until she had figured out what was on her mind.

Xia Houling clicked her tongue and said: "It's not Lanweifang! The ghost desserts there are expensive and not delicious. Do you know that there is a fun place built next to Lanweifang? It will open tonight, and we are going there of."

"Where?" Xiao Ziyi became interested. Even Xia Houling wanted to join in the fun. What could it be?
"It's called the Royal Amusement Park! I don't know how the owner of Lanweifang invited the emperor's imperial pen to give him the name. What a ghost!" go ahead. "It is said to be the Royal Amusement Park, but it is open to the common people. The emperor's grace is great! But the fee is not cheap. Tonight is the first night, and it happens to be the Qiqiao Festival, so it is free! But It's a pity that couples must enter together! Let's go! Let's hurry up!"

Xiao Ziyi let Xia Houling drag her through the crowd with black lines all over her face.

No wonder, she just said why Miss Xiahou was so kind to go shopping and even dragged her in. It turned out that she wanted her to follow suit!Amusement parks are naturally a novelty in this era, not to mention the eye-catching gimmick of "Royal".It's no wonder that even Xia Houling, who was hiding in the deep palace, was extremely curious.

But why didn't she know that Nangong Sheng opened such an amusement park?And the idea of ​​the Royal Amusement Park was planned by her and Tan Yueli?Why did it suddenly become the host of Lanweifang again?Could it be that it was inconvenient for Tan Yueli to show up in person, so he asked Nangong Sheng to cooperate in private?

No wonder Nangong Sheng has been so busy recently, she thought he was really obedient and wouldn't bother her because she claimed to be in seclusion!It was rare to see him in the month before her retreat. It turned out that he was busy with the Royal Amusement Park.

Hehe, it is estimated that Tan Yueli only knew Boss Lan of Lanweifang, and did not know that she was alone with Cook Nan in her palace.

I really don't know what the royal amusement park created by these two men looks like.
